I guess this particular poker run is new to most of you. Each year this poker run turns in to a 16 mile drag race from the George Washington Bridge to the Tappen Zee bridge. There are two winners of the drag race. One in the Cat class and one in the V bottom class.
First Cat and first V to go under the Tappan Zee wins the honor of begin called King of the Hudson.
Yes, there are two Kings. Maybe that's the confusion.

I agree there are two kings, V's and Cats. It is amazing the hardware that shows up. Especially the big powered Outer Limits! But is does seem a number of them break down thru out the run....but the are extremely fast when running.
I throttle for Bob Leach in the 36 Eliminator, and we never thought we would finish any better then the top 25. We were only running stock HP500EFI's, we were 10th to the bridge, but actually 8th to the first card stop, then finished 7th overall to Liberty Marina. Again......little old stock horsepower....most of the top 6 other boats out powered us by 1,000hp, with the 6th place boat being the Pro-Roc spectre having 360HP on us....we felt pretty good to do as well as we did with all the big players out there! When I say finished 7th, all 5 boats were within 200 yards of us, with exception to the 50 Nortech w/ Quads...wow!
We will definitely be back next year with big power...probably not quite enough to be King, but move up a few slots!
Bring what you got...may the best man/boat win!

I'm calling out DJD!
Outer42 needs a driver for the Barnegat Bay Poker Run - I think you need to get a hall pass and get your butt in that driver's seat for the day.
Even the partymaster himself BILLY FRENZ is attending the Poker Run in his boat!

OL42, I totally understand, no disrespect to the guys who brake. It happens to all of us, even guys with the little power. I have raced on the circuit and know how it feels to brake..it sucks!
Gotta pay to play...and sometimes luck is not on our sides no matter what we spend to be prepared!
Hey Typhoon, good to meet you too, look forward to future dealings! Nice Nortech by the way....they are bad! I know Tron, he is only 1.5 hours south of my shop. We mostly on see his V's in this area for some reason.

You guys need to understand you can't have it both ways. If you're going to fight for our high performance rights you need to distance yourself from this sort of activity otherwise risk losing credibility. With the moon tides and all the crap that naturally floats down the Hudson this is definitely a tradegy waiting to happen.
BTW, How many resuce helicopters did the poker run have?
